I did think of this before.
With people saying how easy the DA-42 is to fly, I was wondering why people make the Multi-IR more difficult than it is by sitting the test in a Seneca or a Duchess?
Then I thought would I like to pass the IR test a first time in a twinstar? or make the test harder by doing it in another AC that could potentially make me a better pilot in the long run? Am I really cheating the system ... or myself?
But then I remember reading a post about older generation pilots, banging on about how you should take your training in a C172 and not these new 'easy to fly glass cockpit planes'. At the end of the day an airliner/bizjet is glass cockpit so why do the training in anything different?
This is one thing I have playing on my mind with having to choose a school (Amongst many other factors).
Don't Egnatia do the full fATPL course on Diamond AC? (Not that I'm looking to use them anymore).
